Expired on day of Admission

Published

Hello!

We had a new admission who was admitted under Med A at 5PM and expired at 11:55PM the same day of admission. Should I open a 5-day assessment? I'm not sure because I think we cannot bill for that day...

You get paid for the day. Complete a 5-day and End of PPS part A stay. You only don't get paid if discharged to a hospital or another SNF.
